1984 Trans Am - Platinum paint, LT1, T56, beautiful resto-mod
I've had this car for 14 years and have transformed it significantly in that time. Here is a link to a thread showing the changes over the years-
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...-trans-am.html
It's tough for me to sell it, but I've decided that i want to go a different direction with a 6th gen Camaro and I can't have both. Here is a rundown of what I can remember about all the features/parts the car has:
Exterior: Bright Platinum Metallic show quality paint job. It's like a mirror finish with no orange peel. Painted on Firebird emblem on the hood and "TRANS AM" lettering over the fender vents, shaved door locks and antenna, 4th gen smooth faced door handles, Wings West wrap around spoiler based off of the "Firebird 500" spoiler, Year One snowflake style wheels (17"x9") with 245/45r17 front and 275/40r17 rear BF Goodrich G-Force T/A Tires, windows and rear hatch have 35% light transmitted tint), all new weather seals (t-tops, doors, hatch, everything has been replaced with new rubber), new greaseable hinges on the doors.
Drivetrain: LT1 and T56 from a 1995 Camaro Z28, SLP ceramic coated shorty headers and y-pipe, Magnaflow cat-back with dual tailpipes, Line Lock for front brakes to do big burn outs. It currently has a 9 bolt rear installed but I could also include a 10-bolt posi rear with 4:10 gears and throw in LS1 brake parts for all 4 wheels.
Interior: 1991 Firebird dash and center console with custom machined aluminum trim rings around the guages and shifter, 2000 Trans Am ebony leather seats front and rear, 4th gen charcoal seatbelt set, recovered charcoal headliner with dome light shaved, deluxe (GTA style) door panels, power windows and locks, JVC head deck.
Other modifications: Subframe connectors and LCA brackets welded in, front subframe is seam welded for additional rigidity, Inner fenders are smoothed (mounting points for coolant and washer fluid bottles removed to create perfectly smooth show quality engine compartment), non-ac heater box installed, battery relocated to the hatch area, rear shoulder belts added. Eibach pro-kit 1" lowering springs, adjustable panhard bar, custom fabricated transmission crossmember with room for true dual exhaust.
I also have lots of spare parts that could be worked into the purchase including the original 1984 dash, several great condition dash pads, center consoles, interior parts, fender, ground effects sections, hood, and many more.
Asking $15,500. I probably have twice that into the car and an uncountable number of hours of work. Car located in the Buffalo, NY area.

Thanks. It seems like this site doesn't get as much traffic as it used to. Any suggestions on where else to post a for sale ad?

Thanks for the suggestion punkmaster98. I just posted an ad on nythirdgen.com and I had posted on a facebook group earlier.
